The authors report their experience of surgical infections and particularly peritoneal intraoperative lavage. In a previous study they have standardized the technique. In this study they report on the lavage adding antiseptic substances in the solution. The experimental, controlled study, was carried out on Wistar rat stock, which were submitted to median laparotomy through which was injected a standard bacterial dose composed of 5 bn E. Coli. The peritoneal cavity was washed out after a few minutes with physiological solution with clorhexidine or PVPI dissolved. The main results were an increase of aderential syndrome and a less survival percent age (physiological solution = 100%, clorhexidine = 60%, iodophors = 23%). The authors concluded by pointing out that the use of antiseptic peritoneal lavage solution is a method that should be proscribed from operating rooms because it is unnecessary and detrimental to health.

Due to its non-contact characteristics, remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) has attracted widespread attention in recent years, and has been widely applied for remote physiological measurements. However, most of the existing rPPG models are unable to estimate multiple physiological signals simultaneously, and the performance of the limited available multi-task models is also restricted due to their single-model architectures. To address the above problems, this study proposes MultiPhys, adopting a heterogeneous network fusion approach for its development.

Hematoxylin (HT) is a natural staining dye used in histopathology, often combined with Eosin for H&E staining. A poly(hematoxylin-co-l-lysine) (p(HT-co-l)) nanonetwork was synthesized through a one-step Mannich condensation reaction using formaldehyde as a linking agent. The resulting p(HT-co-l) nanogels had an average size of about 200 nm and exhibited a smooth surface and desirable functional groups such as -OH, -NH, and -COOH, as recognized by FT-IR analysis.

Grapevines are subjected to many physiological and environmental stresses that influence their vegetative and reproductive growth. Water stress, cold damage, and pathogen attacks are highly relevant stresses in many grape-growing regions. Precision viticulture can be used to determine and manage the spatial variation in grapevine health within a single vineyard block.

(L.) Skeels is a unique endemic species in Morocco, renowned for its ecological characteristics and socio-economic importance. In Morocco, recent years have seen an exacerbation of the harmful effects of climate change, leading to an alarming decline in the natural regeneration of this species in its original habitats.

Drought is a detrimental abiotic stress that severely limits wheat growth and productivity worldwide by altering several physiological processes. Thus, understanding the mechanisms of drought tolerance is essential for the selection of drought-resilient features and drought-tolerant cultivars for wheat breeding programs. This exploratory study evaluated 14 wheat genotypes (13 relatively tolerant, one susceptible) for drought endurance based on flag leaf physiological and biochemical traits during the critical grain-filling stage in the field conditions.
